Thanks! Do you think the lens that comes with the package is any good? I heard that the quality is not on par with the other nikon lenses. I guess what i am getting at is; should I just buy the body and a lens separately or buy the package and then buy another lens? I know one lens I really want it the 105 f2.8 macro as I really enjoy photographing flowers etc and macro really interests me. I would love a fisheye lens, what other lens(es) would you recommend?

The 5200 is a great camera! The kit lens....18-55 is a decent lense. If I were you though I would buy the 5200 and an 18-105. An 18-105 refurb will cost 199. The reason for the 18-105 is because while not super fast nor super sharp....it will still produce some great images. And is more useful than the 18-55.
The 105 macro is also a great macro lens. Fast zooms will set ya back a bit in cost.
Primes would be another thing to consider.
But I would be sure to get an 18-105 and at least a 50mm to 85mm prime. And then your macro. With those 3 lenses you can do a lot while learning the ropes.
The reason I suggest a prime in there is they are faster and make a better portrait lens than most budget zooms. But speed is the main thing.
